Prime Minister Theresa May says Britain "will consider our next steps in the coming days alongside our allies and partners" in a dispute with Russia over the nerve agent poisoning of a former spy on British soil.
May says the March 4 attack on Sergei Skripal is a "flagrant breach of international law and the chemical weapons convention."
May spoke after Moscow announced the expulsion of 23 British diplomats, in response to the U.K.'s decision to boot out the same number of Russian embassy staff.
May told a Conservative Party meeting in London Saturday that Britain had expected the Russian move.
May has said the Russian state is responsible for the attack on Skripal and his daughter Yulia. Russia denies responsibility
